Yatho Annah Tatho Manaha

If you wish for a healthy mind and body, our ancient Indian Culture and scriptures suggest VEGETARIAN FOOD.

One of the great minds in California University, Prof WinBurg, did an experiment. Wild Animals like Lion, Tiger and leopards were caged in the backyard of his huge house and he started to take care of these animals. Once he had a sudden idea to give vegetarian food to these carnivorous animals and started feeding strictly vegetarian food, that too in Indian Style. After about 75 days, these animals were freed and allowed to walk in the backyard of his house. He noticed that they were all very calm and peaceful. He had a powerful electrode with him the same kind used in circus to control animals. He realized that he did not need an electrode to control these animals. Using all his experimental data, he wrote a book on the subject. He concluded that book using a sanskrit verse from the upanishad

"YATHO ANNAH: TATHO MANAH:" meaning our mental state depends on the food we eat and it is not about just the body. The above incident was narrated by great philosopher and scientist Dr Gopalakrishnan in 'Jeeva Dhara' programme. (Sri Gopalakrishnana is the director of Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage and his lectures of our indian heritage is a treasure to preserve. I have a very good collection of his lectures and often it inspires me to do any kind of job).


Now, watch the video telecast in Amrita TV about 3 months back about a VEGETARIAN Crocodile living in a Kerala Temple.
